Chapter 86: Despicable and Dirty Behind-the-Scenes Deals
High Entropy's upper body shook, his torso leaned back slightly, and his arms spread back, looking like he was almost out of balance.
Although it was only a momentary subconscious action, he immediately came back to his senses and stabilized his body, but the unconscious force under his feet had already affected his speed.
This is the final corner, and the exit is the sprint, with four steep jumps that allow the skis to get up to 90 mph.
In such a critical place, no matter how small a mistake is, it will have a chain reaction and magnify it into irreparable consequences.
Pullin overtook him, followed by Willis, and High Entropy lost his soul and lost his fighting spirit completely, and when he crossed the line at the end, even Grondan overtook him.
In the end, Hemerin won the race, and Pullin overtook Somaliva in the last minute to finish second, Somaliva third, and high entropy was the penultimate one.
There was a small boo in the cheers from the audience, and many people were ridiculing the Chinese athlete's final crotch pull.
Tang Huai covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and his eyes showed a look of extreme shock and disappointment.
He couldn't figure out what had happened in that moment.
High Entropy had never missed the final corner before, and he even had a chance to catch up with Somaliva not far ahead.
As long as he chases Purin's wake, there is a good chance that he will be able to retain the third position.
But why did he give up? How did you go from third to sixth? Even if you finish fourth, it proves that you have worked hard, you really fought for it!
I came to the competition after all the hard work, racked my brains to study tactics, and finally won the sixth place, the penultimate in the finals, how the hell did I go back and explain to the leader? A whole year of hard work, the lifelong dream of leading the national team to participate in the Winter Olympics, is just gone?
Tang Huai was in a heavy mood, and his eyes were full of confusion.
High Entropy walked abruptly, and the skis dragged on the ground: "Coach, I'm sorry. ”
“……”
"You punish me, no matter what you do, I will accept it."
"You go and register the results first, I'll go back to the hotel first."
Tang Huai didn't want to look at the next award ceremony, and walked down the snowy mountain alone, his waist was a little rickety, his steps were slightly staggering, and he looked at his back as if he was much older in an instant.
Gao Entropy gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made up his mind to catch up and say something again, but at this time, a big hand patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Hey, I've been looking for you for a long time." ”
The voice was familiar, and High Entropy turned his head and opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Oh, Dad, what are you doing here?"
Pete smiled lovingly, telling him that he had come with Banks and Prin, and had been silently watching the performance of High Entropy from outside the arena.
"I don't want to affect your mood for the game, and besides, Tang was here just now, and I don't want to be seen by him." He put his arm around Gao Entropy's shoulders and praised in a low voice, "Kid, your performance just now is really very good, I really want to thank you." ”
"But I'm ...... Coach Don he ......"
"Don't think about it so much, he is not a good coach in the first place, we will replace him, this is the best arrangement for your career!"
Pete walked to the podium with high entropy, although they were not qualified to take the stage, but Prinn on the stage and Banks off the stage were old friends.
Gao Entropy looked at Purin in the spotlight, and his heart was mixed.
After the previous semi-finals, Pete hid and called him and made a request, that is, not to get the top three in the big finals.
The reason is that Pitt got inside information that the Chinese team is looking for excellent European and American coaches everywhere, and the salary package is twice that of the Australian national team.
"Banksy is very excited, you have to help him get this position!"
"Hey, son, as long as you don't finish in the top three in this game, Don will resign, then I will put pressure on the Chinese team leader to focus on probationary banks."
"It's a good deal! You've only lost a few points, but you've repaid Banksy for so many years of mentoring and nurturing you. ”
"Listen to the child, you have grown up, you should be able to distinguish between relatives and distances, Banks has taught you for 8 years, and you and Don have only stayed for two months, there is no need to think about him."
"As long as you win the championship and get the medal later, everything you do now will be canceled out, people only remember to get the halo, who still remembers the failure of a small race?"
Pete's every word pryed into his belief in the game, and what really broke his faith was the following sentence: "Well, I'll tell you the truth, Banks promised to repay us with a large sum of money when it was done." A lot of money that will allow me and your mother to pay off all our debts in Australia. ”
After ending the call, he squatted in the toilet and struggled, at this time Tang Huai called, and his tone was not very good: "Bastard boy, where the did you go?" ”
The balance in Gao Entropy's heart was completely tilted towards Pete's side, but Tang Huai's concern after the meeting and his heartfelt words before the game started made him hesitate.
In the first half of the race, High Entropy was in a state of self-forgetfulness, and he tried his best to show the world that he was capable of competing for the championship, but Prinn's familiar smile broke his state of mind and pulled him back to reality.
Pete's words came to mind again: "Don't finish in the top three!" Gotta let Don fuck off! Banksy is your mentor and I would recommend him to coach in China! ”
Gao Entropy was in a trance, hesitated, lost the championship belief and the fighting spirit of the game, so he gave up the game.
Now seeing people standing on the podium and getting the certificate of honor, he began to have waves in his heart: "Am I making a big mistake in doing this?" ”
The ghost made a difference, he felt that there was something strange behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Tang Huai standing not far behind him, looking at Pete's back cheering, his eyes were full of doubts.
Seeing that Gao Entropy turned his head, Tang Huai stepped forward expressionlessly: "Oh, I forgot to return the phone to you." ”
Pete was also very weak and embarrassed when he saw Tang Huai, and simply shook his hand: "I...... Just arrived here......"
Tang Huai didn't actually suspect any conspiracy, but Pete said this a bit like this.
Tang Huai nodded: "It's not easy for your father and son to get together, there's nothing to do in the afternoon, high entropy can move freely, you have to catch a plane at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, don't sleep too late." Also, no interviews are allowed, not in Chinese or foreign media! ”
He specially ran back, in addition to sending a mobile phone, and more importantly, to tell the high entropy sentence.
The results of the game have been reported to Shao Zhendong in China, and the imaginary anger on the other end of the phone did not appear, but Tang Huai faintly heard that the other party felt relieved.
Shao Zhendong comforted him a few words, and he made such a request.
Tang Huai knew that he was afraid that he would have to roll up and leave.
